Reviews

`Here is that welcome thing, a book which does exactly what it sets out to do...Jargon-free explanations, a helpful lay-out and well-chosen examples assist comprehension of the core material, while an outline of the champter, provided separately, enhances its continuing usefulness as a reference section'
Forum for Modern Language Studies, Volume 37, Number 3
`thoroughly thought-through handbook ... Hawcroft thoughtfully provides memory-joggers, for he knows how fallible is our recall of technical terms. His dragnet of reference is impressively wide ... this is a very persuasive book'
Walter Redfern, MLR, 96.2, 2001
